Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body either cannot produce enough insulin or cannot use it effectively, leading to high blood sugar levels. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1, where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, and Type 2, which typically develops over time due to insulin resistance. Another form, gestational diabetes, occurs during pregnancy and may increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life. Symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, and blurred vision. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision loss. Managing diabetes involves regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, a balanced diet, physical activity, and medication, such as insulin or oral hypoglycemics, to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Early detection and proper management are crucial in preventing long-term complications and improving quality of life.
